The dramatic cloud with the silver lining at sunset in the picture over the Vinales Valley, Cuba looks quite unhappy to me- it has a frown on its face and its mouth open wide in order to shout abuse at its victim, who he dislikes so much and needs to bully for control of his territory!. To me it also looks like the cloud is opening its mouth in surprise and breathing out dragon’s breathe(even though it isn’t that cold there) or smoke(the higher cirrus cloud surrounding it). Don’t know what the cloud is so angry or surprised about. Perhaps the cloud is surprised by its victim’s ability to defend itself against the abuse the other cloud is dishing out.
